A
feeling that can destroy
"Today, I'm no longer afraid to live or to die."
Fear is a feeling we often live with without being fully aware of it. We live our lives paralysed by this emotion, which imposes its limits and dictates our actions. It makes us sick.
For my part, I was afraid of everything, although I tried to be strong for others. I was afraid of living, of dying, of what tomorrow held in store for me, of solitude, of expressing myself in public, of being in a group, of being rejected and of the way others looked at me.My
entrepreneurial spirit was hampered by the fear of failure, by the
anxiety of not seeing my projects through to the end in the face of
the unknown. I can't even begin to list the other fears that plagued
my daily life. I lived for almost forty years in this prison of
permanent stress.
That was yesterday!
Today, I'm no
longer afraid to live, or to die, or of what tomorrow may bring. On
the contrary, I feel more alive than ever. I can speak in public. I
take on new adventures, and I no longer feel stressed, Isaiah
41:13,philippians 4:6-7.
Between yesterday and today, there has been a decisive encounter with Jesus Christ. He lives in me, has conquered my fears and offered me peace, john 14:27.
All this is freely available to anyone who turns to Jesus Christ.
Glory be
to God!
